New Photochemistry in Flow tool
The fReactor PhotoFLOW module was developed by the University of Leeds in conjunction with Asynt and gives scientists the potential to develop and expand their Flow Chemistry work quickly and easily to include photochemistry. This new addition to the Asynt fReactor Flow Chemistry platform is manufactured in the UK and currently available in two wavelengths to suit your requirements:
• 450 nm (Blue) 10w LED COB chips
• 365 nm (UV) 10w LED COB chips
Available to purchase individually, each fReactor PhotoFLOW module is positioned over the desired fReactor position in your set-up with easy to use plug-and-glow technology. With a fully customisable configuration possible, you can choose to use just one of these compact Photo modules on one of the 5 fReactor CSTRs, or add further Photo modules for up to five positions running simultaneously. You can run all five of these from just one power supply using optional splitter leads. Each module includes an individual cooling fan to ensure temperature control to the contained CSTR.

The Asynt LightSyn Lighthouse is a specialized photochemistry reaction vessel designed to safely provide equal light exposure to your sample batch and enable simultaneous magnetic stirring and heating.

Who is the LightSyn Lighthouse designed for?
The LightSyn Lighthouse is ideal for photochemists looking to obtain equal photon flux throughout their reaction medium. The reduced distance of the light to the sample, by channeling the light through quartz into the sample, increases the power the medium is exposed to.
As an easy-to-use device with built-in safety features to minimize exposure risks, it’s a useful addition to the lab for any chemist looking to branch out into photochemistry.
The inlet and outlet valves allow customisability for a variety of uses, including gas reactions/bubbling, programmed reaction management, sample addition or removal, and potentially flow chemistry setups with multiple LightSyn Lighthouse units.

Why do I need this in my lab? What problems will it solve for me?
This system prevents loss of light penetration into the sample which, when it occurs, reduces photon flux efficiency.
This system delivers light directly into the sample, giving equal light penetration and reducing loss of energy.
Home-made photochemistry systems can be complicated and potentially unsafe setups that can prove hazardous to the user. With LightSyn Lighthouse, the built-in microswitch stops exposure to light by requiring the device to be sealed, and the on/off usage is simple to navigate.

Asynt’s LightSyn Illumin8 parallel photoreactor is ideal for safe, benchtop parallel photochemistry. Working closely with some of our key customers we took their “go to” tool for parallel screening, our OCTO parallel reactor, and developed a high powered LED photo array to compliment it. Illumin8 is a no-compromise, safe, well-engineered module based on the DrySyn OCTO MINI 8-position reaction station with magnetic stirring and optional heating via any standard hotplate stirrer.
Our most popular models:
• 8 x 450 nm (Blue) 10w LED COB chips
• 8 x 365 nm (UV) 10w LED COB chips
With the 10w LED COB chips positioned close to each corresponding OCTO Mini reaction tube, the Illumin8 efficiently delivers an even photon flux to each sample. Compact in design, the module includes safety interlocks to ensure that your photochemical experiments are light-tight and safe with active cooling to keep the reaction tubes from getting too hot from photo irradiation.
The LightSyn Illumin8 now incorporates interchangeable light modules for flexible use in different Photochemical reactions, and a wide range of LEDs to choose from.

The Uniqsis PhotoSyn has been designed to provide scientists with a high power LED light source for continuous flow applications.
Available with a selection of different LED arrays the unit can provide outputs up to 700W from the dedicated programmable power supply. Customised units (e.g. 385nm, 420nm) are available on request.
The curved, water (or gas) cooled LED arrays focus the available light on the central coil reactor to maximise the photon intensity.
The PhotoSyn has been thoughtfully engineered to completely prevent potentially hazardous light emissions from the unit, and is protected with interlocks that deactivate the light source if any attempt is made to remove the cover whilst in operation. In addition, a fan both prevents the build up of static hot air within the lamp unit and removes any vapour that may accumulate over time.

PhotoVap was developed at Nottingham University by a team of chemists led by Mike George, and including Martyn Poliakoff and coworkers, allowing a standard rotary evaporator to be utilised as a thin film photo reactor.
360 W of controlled visible light is available to enable effective photo chemistry in any lab.
